Steve: Why do you have a bad attitude about a company whose shares you chose to buy? Especially when the price of the stock has doubled or tripled over the past few months. If I choose to invest in a company and the stock wallows or drops because of business conditions or I discover some shady behavior on the part of management, shame on me for holding the shares. The price already hit $7/share not long ago. What has changed between then and now to turn you against your investment? You seem to have little regard for the company's management or the prospects for the technology. For me those would be good reasons to sell and find an investment that actually brings me enjoyment. I'm just curious why you continue to hold onto those shares. There seems to be a contradiction between your behavior in holding the shares and your views on the company. I really don't mind your posts, as contrarian views help me test my convictions. Actually, setting a goal for getting out of a stock, as you have with $7, is a reasonable course to take, I think. Of course when that happens, you still have time to decide whether or not to stay the course for a better deal. Good luck, Starowl

Downloading of music? Gimme a break. You can only hear a small sample of music by downloading. To get the entire video you have to order and it is shipped by mail. Strowing garbage like this is all a bunch of bull, not having the least idea what you are talking about. If you would bother to read once in a while you might learn something. Steve Allen has it right on. Steve O. got cut off. He thought he could buy back in around $5 and so far it hasn't happened. SNDV very obviously meant for it to go back to $5 so they could reload because they let it drop to 5 17/32 and were still staying out of the picture, they had no intent of stepping in (and they really have not stepped back in so far either). But other buyers came along and foiled the "plan" and that has set their teeth on edge. I am guessing that the smart money already knew about yesterday's article and that was part of the reason for the run up to above $7. Ken

> But the biggest problem I have is that I am beginning to believe > that the ccur model is a transitory model at best Guess what: ALL technology is transitory; perpetual obsolescence is central to the industry. That's what drives innovation. So certainly we will not be in the same place in ten years (those of us on PCs ten years ago were running 20Mhz 386s and happy to have them!), and all good companies must continually evolve (as CCUR has already done, from RT to VOD). The more important question for any technology is whether it suits the needs of the users in the present day, giving them what they want, when they want it, and at the right price point. That sounds like realtime VOD to me today...
